Toothbrush dental care details two: the appearance of high-quality toothbrush standards The overall appearance of a quality toothbrush: brush head short and narrow, brush handle flat and straight, brush surface flat and flush. Some of the toothbrushes on the market have a large and wide brush head, full and dense bristles, and small spacing between the bristles, which are generally cheaper. The use of such brushing will inevitably cause certain damage to the teeth and gums, such as wedge-shaped defects in the teeth, gum recession, root exposure, widening of the gap, etc. In addition, the plate toothbrush can not brush the back teeth due to the large head, and over time, the food residue left in the back of the mouth will ferment and rot under the action of bacteria, and subsequently damage the teeth. Because the damage to the teeth is a slow process, and can not immediately see the damage, so some people still think that the large head toothbrush to use to save time, but do not know the damage caused by a long time.

Brushing tooth care details 11: Brush teeth improperly is easy to get fluorosis Although fluoride toothpaste can effectively prevent tooth decay, but at the same time has side effects, if used improperly, easy to lead to fluorosis. The boundary between the anti-caries effect of fluorine and the toxicity is very small, and the excessive intake of fluorine will make the teeth produce some spots, which is fluorosis. When it is serious, it can make the teeth yellow, rough surface and easy to be defective. Many Chinese and foreign scholars found through scientific research that the number of children suffering from dental fluorosis is increasing while the number of tooth decay is decreasing. The reason is that for children whose swallowing control ability is not perfect, swallowing fluoride toothpaste by mistake will increase the intake of fluoride, and the excessive fluoride will easily lead to fluorosis. Therefore, it is important to have a proper understanding of the use of fluoride toothpaste and to master the correct method.
